But it also heals.That’s the lesson of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the S&L disaster of the 1980s, the giant insurance failures of the 1990s, and the tech wreck of the early 2000s.As long as Wall Street and Washington hid the real facts and lied about their true consequences, the crisis lingered and deepened.

I’m new to the biggerpockets community and hope to make great friends here.I see a lot of posts regarding using interior designers for staging purposes but not about material selection.How often do investors use interior design services to select materials to optimize marketability (quicker sale, wider market appeal, or better renter, larger rental revenue) and control rehab costs?

Don't lie, don't cheat, don't over-promise, don't bust out the big wad of cash and state that "everyone should hang out with you next weekend at your bootcamp" because you obviously are rolling in the cash from all yoru easy investment strategies.But to be serious, your time IS money and therefore you are more than entitled to be compensated.

Actually, that's the first lie, and will be written within the first few pages of your ccrs--at least our is.

So, basically, our buyers are getting a fully renovated house that's completely move-in ready, which is very appealing to first-time buyers.
